- Memory Mechanic – Reclaims wasted RAM in real time

During installation, you should opt to install the free version of System Mechanic. The free version will still require a license key, which is provided after free registration during the installation process.
Of course the full version of System Mechanic has much more features such as AcceleWrite, Advanced Diagnostics, Tune-up Definitions, System Troubleshooter, Drive Medic, Emergency CD, ActiveCare, Startup Optimizer Advanced, Drive Accelerator Advanced, NetBooster, Program Accelerator, Registry Compactor, and more.
Updated: iolo System Mechanic 11 has been released which ships with full Windows 8 support, as well as a multitude of improvements, enhancements, stability augmentations, and general updates ( check out the press release for details). However, most of those new and enhanced features are restricted to the paid-for versions only – only the PC Cleanup and Privacy Cleaner tools are also found in the free version.

I’m leery of Iolo SM. Bought the software two years ago, unaware that it contains nagware. I never noticed any significant improvements after using SM. Then, when the one-year license expired I couldn’t uninstall the program. I contacted Iolo who told me how to edit the registry to remove the nagging “renew” flasher and the (useless) program, but the instructions they gave me referenced keys that WEREN’T IN MY REGISTRY. I’m hoping this free version will replace the paid version well enough for me to use another utility to uninstall ALL the IOLO SM junk my PC is harboring. I wouldn’t buy something from Iolo if they were selling dollar bills at half price.
